I'm looking forward to my upcoming trip to Germany. As a boy, I lived in Germany for six years. I haven't been back there in a long time. It will be strange since I don't eat meat now... all Germans ever eat is meat! Anyway, I'll only be there for five days and most of that time I'll be working; so, I guess I won't have much time for touring... probably only one or two days. At least it's a free trip though. If anyone out there has ever been to Dresden and has some information on any "hot spots" I should go to please let me know. I guess I'm mostly interested in night clubs, strip clubs, discotechs (sp?), etc. Thanks.

they don't all eat meat, that is an outdated stereotype. But if you are going to be staying with (elderly)relatives you might be in trouble. All the Germans I know are vegetarians and there is no shortage of Asian restaurants in German cities (i don't know about rural areas). I found lots of good cheap vietnamese and Indonesian restuarants when i lived in Munich, and of course there is Indian. Indians restaurants in Germany are just like ours, they even refer to dishes by their english names.

The best part of Dresed is the Neu Stadt. or was it the Alt Stadt? It is the area on the other side of the river from the central city (with the historic buildings).

In the neu stadt, there is an area that could be described as an "alternative quarter." There is plenty of Indian and Turkish food to be had there. My favourite place was an Indian restaruant/bar/concert venue with outdoor seating. I forget what it was called, they certainly will have vegetarian food. There are quite a few good bars there, includig a gothic one. sorry i don't remember much i was drunk the whole time i was there
